Product Information
Full details
The Skechers Glide-Step Altus is designed for adults seeking a blend of effortless wear and high-rebound cushioning for daily walking or casual activity. Its primary benefit is the combination of hands-free entry and geometric midsole support, though the Stretch Fit upper may feel too snug for individuals who prefer a rigid, structured shoe frame.

FAQs
Are these shoes actually hands-free?
Yes, the Hands Free Slip-ins technology allows you to step directly into the shoe without using your hands, provided the laces are adjusted correctly for your foot width.
How do I machine wash them?
Place the shoes in a laundry bag, use a gentle cycle with cold water, and always air dry them.
Can I replace the insole?
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole is built into the shoe; it is not designed to be removed or replaced.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Stretch Fit engineered mesh is very accommodating to various foot shapes, though individual experiences may vary.
Are they waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and will not repel water.
Is the Glide-Step sole good for running?
While very comfortable for walking and casual movement, these are primarily categorized as trainers and are not optimized for long-distance performance running.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Adjust the laces slightly tighter to enhance the lock-in effect of the Heel Pillow.
Shoes feel tight after washing
Ensure the shoes have completely air-dried and gently stretch the mesh material by hand before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, utilize the adjustable laces for your initial setup to lock in your preferred tension. Once set, you can rely on the slip-in function for subsequent wear. For care, these trainers are fully machine washable. Skechers recommends washing on a gentle cycle with cold water. Always allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the foam and mesh materials. Avoid using the tumble dryer as extreme heat can damage the specialized cushioning components.
